“Lay hold of my words in your heart, keep my commands and you will live!”
Proverbs 4:4
The word of Adonai is to our spiritual being as healthy food is to our body. When we neglect to nourish our bodies, we will become frail which may lead to death. Likewise, neglecting the word of God will lead to spiritual death. Do not neglect the nourishment you need from God, and that is available to you in Scripture.
The information we receive and process each day may be the main source of information that inform our behavior and decisions. What we put into our hearts and minds is what will flow from us. If what we feed on is toxic to the spirit, what flows from us will also be toxic to others. We cannot fully escape the world, but we “are not of the world” (John 15:19). Yeshua sends us into the world to share His word and be light piercing through the darkness.
For this reason we must feed on Him, through His word, so that we do not ingest the darkness that surrounds us. We strengthen our spiritual muscles to withstand the attacks of a strong, crafty enemy—from the devil, who “prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
Nourish your spirit! Hold fast the God’s timeless words and keep His commands that you may live!
